Mr.. Warnings Movements.


WASHINGTON, d. c., March o.
Although Secretary Mannings resigna-
ton does not take effect until the LIST
proximo, he virtually severed his con-
ncction with the Department this after
noon. Inaccordance with his expressed
wish there was no formal leave-taking.
Very few officials who knew Of his con
tcmplated departure improved the op-
portunity to call on him and say
"Good-Bye." He was presented with a
handsome floral design by the messen-
gers attached to his office, who also sent
a letter expressing their appreciation Of
his kind and considerate treatment.
Mr.. Manning will leave Washington
tomorrow for a short visit to New York
and Albany prior to his departure for
Europe. He is suffering from a severe
cold, but otherwise his health shows no
impairment since his return to duty.
Acting-Secretary Fairchild is still re-
garded as most likely to be his sue
c(SgO.

Insurgents Sentenced.

by AnglO-Ameriean cable TO the Dispatch.l
RUsTcHUK, March 9.-Sentences were
pronounced to-day against several more
insurgents. Four officers were con.
demned to prison for life four were
sentenced to confinement for fifteen
years, and three for eight years. One
hundred and twenty soldiers belonging
TO the battalion of sappers were all SEN
fenced to three years servitude. 1t Is
thought probable that the Bulgarian
commander-in-chief viii reduce all
these sentences. No further executions
are expected. The troops sent to 81
listria to suppress the revolt have been
wlthdraWn from that place.

A Doubtful Question.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.

tBy telegIhlh 10 the Dlspalch.l
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The agri-
cultural colleges the land over are fly
ing their flags, and the people who are
especially interested in them are re-
joiciDg in consequence of the passage
of the experimentation bill. But the
question has arisen which would appear
to indicate that the demonstrations are
premature. The fifth section Of the
bill-the only one relating to appropri-
ations-says: 1.-The sum of SO, 200 is
hereby appropriated TO each State, to
be specially provided for by Congress
in appropriations from year to year
from the sales of public lands, the first
payment to be made on the LIST day Of
October, 1887" This singular phrase
ology has been held to be an appropri-
ing clause, but close inspection of it
has given rise to doubts. the weight of
unofficial opinion being that no money
is appropriated. If this is sustained
by the authorities the beginning OF the
new work will be delayed until Con-
cTess acts further.

defraud the public. The parties, Il Is
claimed, have been operating under
the title Of the Massachusetts, Watch
Company, "and have flooded the coun-
try with circulars offering an elegant
gold watch with the latest improve,
ments for one dollar, but which proved
to be a cheap brass hunting case, con-
tanning paper face, on which were
painted figures of a sun-dial. Upon
visiting the Office of the concern the
officers found dozen girls at work pre-
pairing the watches for transmission
through the mails and upon the man
ayers desk was large pile of bills Just
received in the morning mail. Rich,
it is said, was the company's legal adj
wiser. Both men were taken before
Commissioner Hsllett, and held IN

special telegram 70 the Dispatchl
NV YORK, March 9.--Reports on
,be Terminal deal caused intense ex-
c;,cment on Change, but operators
were in doubt as to the proper course
IN puruc under the circumstances.
There is Of course desire TO learn
some Of the details before venturing
Too deep in the market, as until these
are forthcoming they are completely at
the mercy OF those on the inside, who,
being heavy traders themselves, wonld
take early steps 10 reap the advantages
ia thc market afforded by deal of
such magnitude.
GOULD NERVOUS.
Mr.. Gould's position in the premises
Is unknown. and as his importance as a
factor is well understood there is one
additional and very forcible argument
IN favor Of making haste slowly by
those who are not parties TO the scheme.
Cine view of the latter was that Mr..
Sullv and his associates had bid for the
Baltimore and Ohio stock for their
own account and for the furtherance Of
their important railway interests in the
South. If this is correct, it is argued
Mr. GWuld's demand would have been
satisfied, or, failing in this, he might
make the fight between the telegraph
companies even more severe than il has
been hitherto. While at the start the
market was benefited by the report that
harmony prevailed all around, specula-
ton experienced a radical change when
the uncertainty in regard to Mr.. Gould's
position began to DO its work.
AT SEA.
The fact that stocks of the companies
directly concerned in the deal were the
weakest. on the whole list of course did
not tend to stimulate confidence, and
in the late dealings the traders were all
at sea. Some look upon the reaction as
being manipulated for the purpose of
allowing certain prominent people TO
acquire lines of stocks preparatory to a
boom" while others claim that Gould
manifested his opposition to the Sully
move 10y attacking the stocks with
which those identified with the deal
have been leading up for some days.
Conservative houses are cautioning
their customers to 60 slow until there
are developments that will afford a
Guide as to the true stata of the Balti-
more and Ohio negotiations.

page. when he seems TO have been in

as he left it until Sunday, when Major
Pond put it away. 1t had not been

explains why he had been addressed by
the Charleston lady:
